Manuel, Loli, Luis, Mamen, Yolanda, Andrés and Rubén all get their questions answered and I’ll bring you up to date with what’s been happening in our neck of the woods in this week’s podcast.

Last week’s podcast with Kevin from deliberateenglish.com – 10 expressions to help you have a successful job interview. https://www.inglespodcast.com/424

Reza’s currently in Belfast with his family.
I’ve just got back from my holiday in Scotland. I went there for a reunion of family and friends.

Reza had COVID and he’s also been very busy at the end of the academic year so we were not able to record podcasts for the summer.
There will be a podcast every week until I can record with Reza again.
Thank you for all the voice messages you’ve been sending with your questions and comments. Please keep sending them!

3 friends younger – 3 younger friends
bay = bahía – a part of the coast where the land curves in so that the sea is surrounded by land on three sides
marsh = pantano – it often floods and is always wet. It’s often near a river.
a marsh of salt water – a saltwater marsh
